Essie To Buy Or Not To Buy from the Tour de Finance collections is a lilac creme with very, very subtle blue shimmer. The shimmer is obvious in the bottle, but nearly invisible on the nail. However, I really love the color as it is. Crisp lilacs like this one makes your nails look fresh. The formula was good and I needed three coats for opacity. And I must say that I love Essies new brush! It's wider and thicker and great to use!
